Arsenal have been linked with a number of new players heading into this summer transfer window.
🧸Indeed, a plethora of new midfielders and attackers have been linked with a move to the Emirates, but perhaps the most intriguing link has been to a new defensive player.
Nottingham Forest’s Murillo has been linked with a move to Arsenalꦿ as of late, and speaking on , Micah Richards has had nothing but good things to say about the defender.
Micah Richards praises Murillo
🍨Richards spoke highly of Murillo and some of his Forest teammates.
🌜“Yeah, Elanga has been very good, Hudson-Odoi has been very good, Morgan Gibbs-White,” Richards said.
꧅“But the centre-half Murillo, he is a player. Lovely left foot. The way he comes out, breaks the lines, yeah, they have got some good players.”
Murillo looks talented
🐬Richards is spot on, Murillo looks like a very talented player, but it has to be said he doesn’t look like much of a defender.
⛎Whenever anyone praises Murillo, it seems to be for his dribbling ability or his passing quality, not for how well he defends, and that would potentially be a problem if he joined a top club.
𒁃There’s no getting away from the fact that Forest’s defensive record this season has been terrible, and that almost led to relegation from the Premier League.
ꦫMurillo looks a class above in that sort of team, but we’re yet to see how the Brazilian would cope at a top club where he has to be much more defensively solid.
﷽Of course, at the age of just 21, this young man has plenty of room to grow and improve, but it may be wise to approach this sort of move with caution.
🍰The man is a talent, but it’s not quite clear whether he’s ready to play for a top club yet.
